WE do use the 4 drive solution for Exchange replication and it works great...but I don't know that we could use it on a live server to pass data. Thanks @Jeff – I agree.

I have been using Windows 7 RTM and before that the RC on various flavors of the MAC running parallels with 0 issues. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you, but did make some calls and found that no one using your install scenario had any trouble. Perhaps you need to try a re-install of Windows 7...and I am assuming you are now using the RTM?? HI.

I installed as you described and all went well until I suspended the vm. It started hanging on startup at the 'Welcome' message and would only boot into windows in safe mode. The parallels install is running on a new (July 09) unibody 13" MBP with integrated graphics only (not sure if this is a factor). The problem seems to lie with the Parallels Tools app(s) and the fact that the Win7 install is 64bit. Parallels support suggested un- and re-installing Parallels tools which works until the next time the vm is suspended :-(. They also advised deleting the .mem/.sav files inside the vms .pvm package but to no avail, I still get so far and no further. Have you or any of your readers experienced this? And if so do you have a fix/workaround? I'm desperate to bin my XP vm and get with the times ;-) Thanks, I. Hi,

Just an FYI. As to the Pro version we have 2 ESXi servers sharing one pro with 8 1.5tb drives running 15 machines in total. We have not had any issues so far after 4 months of production.

I've recently made the switch to SL and am using the 64bit kernel, for fun. I had been using Fusion but it doesn't work with the kernel in 64bit mode but VB does. I think I'll try it out after hearing that it has gotten much better :) Thanks for the info. I’ve recently made the switch to SL and am using the 64bit kernel, for fun.

]]> Comment on Tip: Google Voice Calls via Google Talk by NetApex http://www.2s2d.net/2009/07/02/tip-google-voice-calls-via-google-talk/comment-page-1/#comment-219 NetApex Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:08:03 +0000 http://www.2s2d.net/?p=1266#comment-219 To be honest, I have not yet attempted to place a call using GTalk. I do most of my calling from the web interface when I am at work/home and I use Magic Call on my phone to place calls. But from the web you can place a call and have it ring your Gizmo5 number which in turn goes through your GTalk. As for the three minute limitation, that applys to outgoing calls only. So even "placing a call" with Google Voice really turns it into an incoming call. I've sat on the GTalk for about 45 minutes with my mother who lives out of state walking her through using her netbook. To be honest, I have not yet attempted to place a call using GTalk.

Verizon's Blackberry Tour 9630 has been starting to exhibit roller-ball issues similar to the same problems they had when they first released the Blackberry World Edition. Beyond that, it's a nice device. Just a comment because it’s an issue that I’ve dealt with at work, and according to my Verizon rep, has been happening more and more.
